9. I was afraid of that

I seem to remember that dell was different.

a new case isn't that expensive anyway as far as that goes. I was looking at one earlier for less than 50 bucks. I think that included a power supply too. Not the prettiest thing in the world but who cares about that anyway

Anyways I'm working my way up to a new system. From time to time I see some good buys on used motherboard and processors on Ebay for some pretty good prices.
My biggest problem is I really don't know processors any more. Used to I pretty much did but not any more. When they went to the multi cores they lost me.
